# Moms' night out at a Wonju makchang restaurant: Yeon Makchang Dangye - By Haesol (https://superchart.com/en/@where-we-ate-5/) - Written Aug 30, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Wonju, Gangwon - Sponsored: This post was written after a paid visit sponsored by the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@where-we-ate-5/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@where-we-ate-5/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/index.md) ## In short Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch is a par-grilled makchang (grilled pork intestine) restaurant in the middle of the Dangye-dong food street in Wonju, Gangwon. For a moms' get-together dinner the table shared par-grilled makchang, the spicy clam wine stew limited to 10 servings a day (6,000 won on a first order) and yeolmu bibim guksu (cold spicy noodles with young radish kimchi), and because the makchang arrives already par-grilled there was little work left at the grill. Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch suits a group dinner that wants a sharp, brothy stew and noodles alongside the meat. ## Good to know - **What we ordered**: Par-grilled makchang, spicy clam wine stew, yeolmu bibim guksu - **Spicy clam wine stew**: Limited to 10 servings a day; 6,000 won on a first order - **Location**: Center of the food street near the Dangye-dong housing district in Wonju - **Self-serve corner**: Extra side dishes available to help yourself to, beyond the basic spread - **Service**: Makchang comes par-grilled and staff cut it into bite-size pieces - **Price reference**: ₩6,000 ≈ $4.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Aug 30, 2026* There are nights when you can't decide what to eat for dinner, right? Some days you want meat but not just samgyeopsal, something a bit special. Other days you want a menu that pairs well with a drink and still fills you up. This particular evening I had a get-together with my mom friends, so we went for dinner in Dangye-dong, Wonju. There are so many good restaurants in that area that it's genuinely hard to choose — but this time we picked Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch. ## Where is Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch, and what does it look like? Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch sits right in the center of the food street near the Dangye-dong residential area in Wonju, so it's very easy to find. ![Exterior of Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch on the Dangye-dong food street in Wonju](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-01-p1wlu-m-1200.webp) ![Storefront entrance with the Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-02-lxm50-m-966.webp) The sign is eye-catching even from a distance, so even first-timers can find it easily. The retro yet tidy exterior gives off that cozy pojangmacha (street tent bar) feel before you even step inside. And it's been certified as several celebrities' favorite makchang spot!!! ![Retro-style exterior of Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-03-beimh-966.webp) ![Wall showing celebrity certifications as a favorite makchang restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-04-1nx8d-966.webp) ## Inside the restaurant and the seating Stepping inside Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch, you're greeted by a cozy, warm interior. The tables are spaced comfortably apart, making it easy to chat while you eat. Hand-written-style menu posters on the walls add a nostalgic old-school charm. ![Interior of Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch with well-spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-05-1sflg-966.webp) ![Wall with hand-written-style menu posters](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-06-1tkv1-966.webp) ## What the moms' table ordered We sat down and looked over the menu. Alongside the main par-grilled makchang, there were plenty of good side dishes to pair with it. What we ordered that day was: - Par-grilled makchang - Spicy clam wine stew (ttaengcho baekhap suljjim) - Yeolmu bibim guksu (cold radish-green noodles) ![Menu board at Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-07-5u0dj-966.webp) ![Menu listing par-grilled makchang and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-08-5yptb-966.webp) ![Menu information poster on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-09-1av2c-966.webp) Looking at the posters on the wall and the writing on the menu, there was even an explanation of what makes their makchang special — you could feel the restaurant's pride in their food. ![Sign explaining the restaurant's makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-10-p4xq7-966.webp) ![Poster expressing pride in the makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-11-racxr-966.webp) ## Basic side dishes and the self-serve corner After ordering, the basic spread arrived. First came a warm bean sprout soup, good for a spoonful while waiting for the meat to cook. They also gave us the ingredients to mix our own dipping sauce for the makchang. ![Bean sprout soup served as part of the basic spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-12-1xzq6-966.webp) ![Table setting with ingredients for making makchang dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-13-t8yw3-966.webp) If you want more side dishes beyond the basics, there's a self-serve corner — you can just grab as much as you need. It was convenient not having to call a staff member every time we wanted more sides while eating meat. ## Par-grilled makchang: why there is little grilling left to do ![Par-grilled makchang served ready to finish on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-14-1197z-966.webp) The par-grilled makchang we'd been waiting for finally arrived. Since it's already been pre-cooked, you just brown it a bit more on the grill. That took away the burden of having to grill raw makchang for a long time from scratch, which I really appreciated. ![Par-grilled makchang cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-15-1tkzs-966.webp) Once it was mostly cooked, a staff member came over and cut the makchang into bite-sized pieces for us. ![Makchang cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-16-1qj5t-966.webp) Just the sizzling sound on the grill was enough to get us excited. ![Makchang sizzling on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-17-1s3in-966.webp) Once it turned golden brown on the grill, it was finally ready to eat. The cut pieces, browned on both sides, had a mouthwatering crisp outside while staying chewy inside. ![Close-up of golden-browned makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-18-egux6-966.webp) At this point I mixed up a dipping sauce from the basic ingredients provided. Dipping the makchang in a sauce made to taste added even more flavor to the already savory meat, and I kept reaching for more. We were enjoying it so much I forgot to take eating photos, haha. ## Spicy clam wine stew, only 10 servings a day ![Spicy clam wine stew full of clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-19-fdyi4-966.webp) We ordered the spicy clam wine stew (ttaengcho baekhap suljjim) to go along with the makchang. The milky broth is packed with big, fresh clams, and the green chili peppers give it a spicy, deep, refreshing kick. A spoonful of that spicy broth between bites of savory makchang cuts right through the richness — a perfect pairing. ![A bowl of spicy clam wine stew with a fiery broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-20-mw1m2-966.webp) This is a special dish sold in a limited quantity of 10 servings a day. Worth noting: if you order it along with your first order, it's discounted to just ₩6,000 — a great deal!! ## Finishing with yeolmu bibim guksu ![Yeolmu bibim guksu loaded with yeolmu, perilla leaves, and egg strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang-21-1dn7c-966.webp) We finished the meal with yeolmu bibim guksu (cold noodles tossed with young radish greens). The moment it landed on the table, our jaws dropped at the huge pile of toppings — crisp yeolmu, fragrant perilla leaves, and savory egg strips all piled on generously. The visual alone was overwhelming. After mixing it thoroughly and taking a big bite, the sweet-spicy sauce, crisp yeolmu, and soft egg strips came together beautifully. The noodles were springy too, and wrapping a piece of browned makchang in with a bite of noodles made for the perfect finish. Definitely a certified Dangye-dong, Wonju favorite!! ## Who is Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch best for? Dinner at Yeon Makchang that day was better for having several dishes together rather than just makchang alone. It seems like a place you'd think of on days when you're craving makchang, days with dinner plans with friends, or days when you want something different alongside your meat. If you're looking for a good restaurant in Dangye-dong, Wonju, it's worth trying the par-grilled makchang together with the limited spicy clam wine stew and the yeolmu bibim guksu. ## Where it is - Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch (연막창 단계점) - 66 Cheonsa-ro, 1st floor, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 원주시 천사로 66 1층 - 37.3474006, 127.9323944 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%97%B0%EB%A7%89%EC%B0%BD%20%EB%8B%A8%EA%B3%84%EC%A0%90/@37.3474006,127.9323944,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@where-we-ate-5/yeonmakchang-dangye-moms-dinner-makchang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
